A 71-year-old man was hospitalized with first, second, and third-degree burns after an explosion caused by a gas leak, which occurred in the village of Filipeni, Leova, around 8:00 AM. The incident was caused by the use of a defective hose connected to the stove, which led to the accumulation of propane-butane gas inside the home.
